E-Networks has been granted permission by the Guyana Government to connect its fibre optic submarine cable to Suriname to provide for redundancy here.
A notice on the Official Gazette of Guyana website states that Prime Minister Mark Phillips on behalf of the Government has amended the telecommunications licence issued on October 5th 2020, to E-Networks. The licence was amended to grant permission to E-Networks Inc. to land, install and operate a fibre optic submarine cable that will connect Guyana to Suriname for the provision of redundant connectivity here.
The notice disclosed that on February 22, 2021, the Prime Minister made known his intention to amend E-Networks’ licence and has since considered representations, objections, views, statements and alternatives received by interested persons, as well as all surrounding circumstances.
The amendment has been in effect from August 12, paving the way for E-Networks to commence the project.
Phillips has also amended E-Networks’ Frequency Authorization so that the company can provide mobile radio communication services in licensed areas of operation.
